The default ZOOM setting has changed it's definition since v0.21 of MythBrowser. In v0.21 and earlier it was specified as a percentage. So you may have had something like 100 or 150. In v0.22 it is specified between 0.3 to X with 1 being "normal". So if you have upgraded from v0.21 unless you manually change it your fonts will be 600 feet high and you will see just a blank screen.

To use Flash in embedded videos, ensure that a symbolic link to libflashplayer.so appears in the directory MythTV keeps other plugins. Possibilities include <code>/usr/lib/mythtv/plugins</code> or, on a 64-bit system, <code>/usr/lib64/mythtv/plugins</code>.
